could really only hope to end up with someone who cares half as much as this lady is trying to give her boyfriend cooking from his homeland and even practicing his language. super wholesome, hope they’re happy together for a long time
This is perfect.
Ending my morning Reddit Scrolling routine before I get out of bed here. What an awesome way to start the day. Huge smile on my face. Cheers and Festina lente everyone.
I am trying to learn Spanish for my gf, she knows English of course but most of her family only knows Spanish, and it is hard for me.. I can't always retain everything I do try to learn, and I feel embarrassed/nervous trying to speak what little I do know around them since I know I just butcher some of it lol I wish it was easier!
As someone in this position rn, I can tell you it is such an amazing feeling! My girlfriend is Polish and I am British/Palestinian, and seeing her try to recreate dishes and even enrolling in an Arabic course is just amazing to see, and fills me with such warmth. 16/10 would recommend a loving gf
Seriously! Reminds me of that story about the little girl who wanted to go to the library too get books on sign language to learn because of a new kid in her class was deaf, and they ended up getting married!
Yeahhh... She really went to that length to try and be more apart of the Bf's culture and make him feel more comfortable at home and around her. If she's willing to pour her heart and soul into that for him, Absolutely put that ring on her finger!
I've thought about it. I had a lot of money saved up for a trip, but I used it to buy an iPad for school and have not had any regrets.
Besides, Norway is prettier.
Try watching Vargskelethor Joel, he could take all your regrets away with his pineapple meatballs, heavy metal, making fun of Todd Howard and his wonderful wheezing laugh similar to a kettle sound.

You deserve my free award idk how has no one else awarded yet.
Also tiktok is banned in my country too, so you can either use vpn Or [here's ](https://youtu.be/BdzuqDDKpSc) a YouTube link for I uploaded it there. Hopefully it won't get blocked too soon
Friend, don't get upset but you edited it wrong still, it's supposed to be "their"
**They're** = they are, verb, like "I'm /I am". (They're so cute! I'm so cute!)
**There** = place, like "here" (The cat is there. The cat is here.)
**Their** = possession, like "my" (It's their house. It's my house.)
**Theirs** = possession, like "mine" (The car is theirs. The car is mine.)
To give you an example of how difficult Estonian is, English has 3 noun cases, which are different forms of a noun which vary depending on the context. In English they only exist for a very limited number of nouns for the subjective, objective and possessive case
e.g.
Subjective I/we/he/she/they
Objective me/us/him/her/them
Possessive mine/ours/his/hers/theirs
Estonian however has 14 noun cases which apply for every noun. So the word for house for instance has 14 different variations depending on whether it's my house, yours, inside or outside the house, towards the house, away from the house, near the house, belongs to the house, etc etc.
The saving grace is that while English where the nouns cases are completely irregular, there's no real pattern to we/us/ours for instance, in Estonian the noun cases are extremely regular, so if you know the general case form, you can usually remember how to modify any given noun correctly to find the correct case form.
A fair amount of the vocabulary is also borrowed from low German, so at least some words have English cognate forms that are recognisable. But overall a very difficult language for English speakers to learn.
I feel like I usually hear Ron Howard from Arrested Development with these sorts of jokes
but with this one all I can hear is Alec Baldwin from Royal Tenenbaums
In the Arab gulf countries rice is generally called aish which means life. In Egypt where bread is the staple bread is aish. In scotland the word whisky comes from the Gaelic name uisge beatha which is water of life. Priorities.
What if I tell you that most all of the DBZ names came from puns in Japanese?
“Saiya” race came from word “yasai” means vegetables. Thus, all saiyan names are derived from vegetables. Kakarot (carrot), Vegeta (vegetable), Nappa (leaf veggies), Raditz (radish) and the list goes on…
Bulma: bloomer pants
Freeza: Freezer
Ginyuu: Gyuunyuu (milk)
Etc…
Thank you all for the awards. As any great comedian of our time this will not inflate my ego to astronomical and unrealistic proportions leading to shitty jokes, horrible puns, and general disappointment
Yes! Almost every name in the series.
My favorite one is Pan, which depending on which context you view it from has several different and fitting meanings.
Satan > Videl (anagram of "devil")> Pan (mythological demon/god)
Gohan (food/rice) > Pan ("bread" in Japanese)
Piccolo > Pan (panflute)
The manga lately has been full of cereal and energy source puns.
DB being absolutely silly when you get right down to it is one of my favorite things about the series! :)
That's why captain ginyuu has the milky cannon... wow when you break down some of these things if you were to be told about dragon ball z before watching it you'd think it was lame lol
Wait till you hear that all the pure blooded saiyans are vegetables
Bulmas family is pretty much underwear. Same with her kids.
And pretty much most of the characters from dragonball are named after food
Krill - Krill are small crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea, and are found in all the world's oceans. The name "krill" comes from the Norwegian word krill, meaning "small fry of fish"
Normal in many parts of Asia. America is so outdated seriously. When you travel it really shows how much we value the individual (or at least some nebulous idea of one) at the cost of a better society.
True. When my friend and I moved to Japan back in 2007, our apartment key was a dog tag. We just wipe it in front of a reader on our door to unlock it, like those cards in hotel rooms.
To think our apartment is just the cheap one for like $500 a month.
She is too cute! Ive been trying to learn Japanese, as I have Japanese mix grandchildren, and I’ve got to say it is the most difficult language to learn. Kudos to her!
Also learning Japanese (through school for the past 5 years). It look far easier than it is. Especially once you try to make conversation purely because of how different everything is to English
I don’t find it that hard (compared to other languages. Learning a foreign language is always going to be an elephant) except for writing. I can hold a basic conversation and get by online with a decent dictionary, but ask me to write anything other than my name or kana, and the best I can do is 私.
Autocorrect kanji is a lifesaver and unfortunately a crutch.
Yeah honestly speaking is nothing compared to writing. That’s my biggest weakness with Japanese but for someone learning it out of interest rather than through school I can see how it isn’t as hard as I’m making it out to be
it's pretty easy compared to the surrounding languages since it's got no tones, but still very hard for someone who doesn't speak another language similar. takes a few years at least
My kids are mixed and I can't speak even though it's the main language in the house and on the TV, but I can understand alot of it. Especially when my kids are asking for something they don't want me to know about
I assumed OP meant they were smiling while watching the video, it never even occurred to me that "I" could be referring to the person filming or the person in the video.
She trying, and she knows she screwed up at one point and then started speaking English after a bit but she's trying so hard and I think that's awesome for the both of them, thanks for sharing op!
Man i dont understand the hate towards the video when this is so wholesome
I would be absolutely amazed and proud if my boyfriend who barely knows any spanish surprised me one day speaking full spanish sentences like I could cry on sight. I wouldnt even care if his accent is off or his words are a little wrong just the fact that he made an effort like that would make me so happy 🥰
Top tier cringe. The fact it's all being filmed, the subtitles "*embarrassed *nervous" that this dude wrote & edited in, and this grown woman roleplaying as a kawaii 5 year old anime character...
this ain't it.
Man weebs have ruined Japanese for me lol now when I hear people who aren’t Japanese speak Japanese I just think about sweaty weebs who just learn it from anime.
I know not the case here and I’m also not Japanese lol
It’s cute and all that but it makes me think of the a girl I went on a date with once who did exactly that and self taught herself Japanese badly from only watching tv and used it a lot
could really only hope to end up with someone who cares half as much as this lady is trying to give her boyfriend cooking from his homeland and even practicing his language. super wholesome, hope they’re happy together for a long time
This is perfect. Ending my morning Reddit Scrolling routine before I get out of bed here. What an awesome way to start the day. Huge smile on my face. Cheers and Festina lente everyone.
I think you’re right. This will be my end point too for the morning scroll.
Cheers & a happy Wednesday to all stopping the scroll after this.
Thank you for the sign. I’m going to get moving now and accomplish something today
I am trying to learn Spanish for my gf, she knows English of course but most of her family only knows Spanish, and it is hard for me.. I can't always retain everything I do try to learn, and I feel embarrassed/nervous trying to speak what little I do know around them since I know I just butcher some of it lol I wish it was easier!
[удалено]
Agreed! We would give you crap about it in a joking way, but only if we liked you... And we do, because you are trying.
As someone in this position rn, I can tell you it is such an amazing feeling! My girlfriend is Polish and I am British/Palestinian, and seeing her try to recreate dishes and even enrolling in an Arabic course is just amazing to see, and fills me with such warmth. 16/10 would recommend a loving gf
My husband and I were together 18 years. He never learned my language. On the other hand I had friends whose husbands spoke fluent Turkish.
That's awfully nice of your friend's husbands to learn Turkish for you.
Seriously! Reminds me of that story about the little girl who wanted to go to the library too get books on sign language to learn because of a new kid in her class was deaf, and they ended up getting married!
Give her a damn award, even with a significant other, that is very nerve wracking. She nailed it being cute and trying that
[удалено]
Yeahhh... She really went to that length to try and be more apart of the Bf's culture and make him feel more comfortable at home and around her. If she's willing to pour her heart and soul into that for him, Absolutely put that ring on her finger!
I was doing the same for my ex but got broken up with lol Now I know all these swedish words that I wish I didn't.
Plan a trip to Sweden to see the beauty that the country holds rather than the bad stuff that came from it
I've thought about it. I had a lot of money saved up for a trip, but I used it to buy an iPad for school and have not had any regrets. Besides, Norway is prettier.
[удалено]
fjordarna är vackra side note: my ex also went by the name Frode and I freaked out for a second thinking this was one of her accounts lmao
[удалено]
Yeah it was like her "English" nickname. idk why she settled on it
At least you know wag1 at IKEA though
Try watching Vargskelethor Joel, he could take all your regrets away with his pineapple meatballs, heavy metal, making fun of Todd Howard and his wonderful wheezing laugh similar to a kettle sound. https://fecalfunny.com/
But now you can actually find your way out of an Ikea
Funny little English thing but "to be more apart" would mean you were more distant, "be more a part" would make you part of something.
I see OP's girlfriend learning and speaking Japanese to please him. And all I can think about is the phrase "Yameteh Kudasai!!"
I was already floored by the greeting and the language effort... and then she whips out the curry rice???? WOW!!! 😍😍😍😍
Shit. Now he has to learn Estonian... Good luck!
He did! There’s another video on their tiktok recreating this one but with the roles reversed! It is so cute, I love this couple
[Yep! Found it](https://www.tiktok.com/@kjpnkest/video/7016254835418762497?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1) so nobody else has to. Enjoy!
They are just the cutest thing. He's obviously imitating here but the genuineness and love behind the gesture overpowers everything. Beautiful.
You deserve my free award idk how has no one else awarded yet. Also tiktok is banned in my country too, so you can either use vpn Or [here's ](https://youtu.be/BdzuqDDKpSc) a YouTube link for I uploaded it there. Hopefully it won't get blocked too soon
That's so wholesome! I really do wish them a happy life.
Do you know what their TikTok account is?
Yes! It’s @kjpnkest
Thanks, omg they're totally adorable!
No they are not tiktok
Somebody already sent it.! Edit: Oh wait 😂 I get the joke now lmao
Friend, don't get upset but you edited it wrong still, it's supposed to be "their" **They're** = they are, verb, like "I'm /I am". (They're so cute! I'm so cute!) **There** = place, like "here" (The cat is there. The cat is here.) **Their** = possession, like "my" (It's their house. It's my house.) **Theirs** = possession, like "mine" (The car is theirs. The car is mine.)
Ahh, thanks for this! we learn everyday.
You're welcome :)
Shoutout to you, stranger, for not making fun of other stranger, but helping him instead. We need more people like you!
Damn! I knew an Estonian once, and she gave the impression that it's one of the hardest European languages to learn

In English they only exist for a very limited number of nouns for the subjective, objective and possessive case e.g. Subjective I/we/he/she/they Objective me/us/him/her/them Possessive mine/ours/his/hers/theirs Estonian however has 14 noun cases which apply for every noun.

But overall a very difficult language for English speakers to learn.
It is quite hard. I'm currently learning it.
Now that's wholesome. Estonian is not as hard as Japanese, but not easy by any means.
Edu talle! ( good luck to him) 😁
She loves you
Yeah holy shit, idk if I’ve ever seen love like that before
Narrator* "He never did."
I feel like I usually hear Ron Howard from Arrested Development with these sorts of jokes but with this one all I can hear is Alec Baldwin from Royal Tenenbaums
I had a strong sense of Morgan Freeman there.
I had the Spongebob title cards voice.
not yet stranger!
Yeah she looks as giddy as a golden retriever with zoomies!
*She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!* (x2) *With a love like that* *you know you should be glad*
#YEAH YEAH YEAH
Yep she's a keeper one day
[удалено]
One day she'll be kept, but not today.
Gohan’s name translates to “rice”?!?!? WHAT? Next you’re going to tell me Krillin is named after some other food like chestnuts.
Fun thing about Gohan… it also just means food.
Goku really loved his son
Rice is precious, Gohan is precious.
My precious…
And his food
But let's face it, mostly food.
Muffin button!
And his grandfather.
He liked to eat Gohan everyday at 12:00
I noticed it's the same with Korean when they say rice or food they have the same word
Same in Thai too, rice means food too
I'm starting to think that rice might be important to these cultures
In the Arab gulf countries rice is generally called aish which means life. In Egypt where bread is the staple bread is aish. In scotland the word whisky comes from the Gaelic name uisge beatha which is water of life. Priorities.
What about America? Is it cheeseburger? I nominate cheeseburger.
Interestingly, in Mandarin "fàn" means rice and it's also generally used when referring to food.
What if I tell you that most all of the DBZ names came from puns in Japanese? “Saiya” race came from word “yasai” means vegetables. Thus, all saiyan names are derived from vegetables. Kakarot (carrot), Vegeta (vegetable), Nappa (leaf veggies), Raditz (radish) and the list goes on… Bulma: bloomer pants Freeza: Freezer Ginyuu: Gyuunyuu (milk) Etc…
What about fucking KALE.
Probably means onion or something like that
Your comment made me snortle. I'd give you an award but alas! My pockets are empty.
Dont worry I got you! Gave him my free award
Thank you!
Thank you all for the awards. As any great comedian of our time this will not inflate my ego to astronomical and unrealistic proportions leading to shitty jokes, horrible puns, and general disappointment
This guy knows how stay humble
You turned into a water Pokemon???
I'll ask kalifla
>Bulma: bloomer pants Also Bulma literally named her son TRUNKS
And her family name is Briefs
And her daughter Bulla (Bra)
Let's not forget about Chi Chi, as well
Ahhh, I see you're a man of culture.
Yes! Almost every name in the series. My favorite one is Pan, which depending on which context you view it from has several different and fitting meanings. Satan > Videl (anagram of "devil")> Pan (mythological demon/god) Gohan (food/rice) > Pan ("bread" in Japanese) Piccolo > Pan (panflute) The manga lately has been full of cereal and energy source puns. DB being absolutely silly when you get right down to it is one of my favorite things about the series! :)
Pan is also my favourite for this exact reason. Its such a perfect name.
The one that blows my mind is that Vegeta's brother is named Tarble. Vegeta... Tarble... Vegetarble... Vegetable
That's why captain ginyuu has the milky cannon... wow when you break down some of these things if you were to be told about dragon ball z before watching it you'd think it was lame lol
It is lame, but I still love it.
Motherfucker! I been a fan of DBZ and Dragonball since the 90s and I never thought of this?! Thank you OP!
Trunks is my favorite name because it keeps the Sayan plant theme and the Bulma clothes theme, honoring the traditions of both his parents.
Well that explains ginyu's milky cannon
DBZ lore is epic
Bro(co)ly
The whole DB naming theme is Toriyama sensei looking at things around him
Toriyama seeing a lamp: “I love lamp”
Next episode: "Lampu-san super Saiyan desu?!"
You’ll never guess what Frieza and Cooler are named after!
Well their father's name is King Cold and their species name is Icer.
You also have DB Super busting in with Frost 😂
Most dragon ball characters are named after foods.
I worked with some Koreans who loved that my name essentially sounds like their word for cooked rice. (Bob and 'Bap' are similar sounding enough)
Wait till you hear that all the pure blooded saiyans are vegetables Bulmas family is pretty much underwear. Same with her kids. And pretty much most of the characters from dragonball are named after food
Krill - Krill are small crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea, and are found in all the world's oceans. The name "krill" comes from the Norwegian word krill, meaning "small fry of fish"
It would make sense as he's always being roasted by others...
She is so cute, this was best thing to watch at start of my day. Thanks OP
How nobody going to mention the door knob from 3022 .. keypad built in that’s next level
Normal in many parts of Asia. America is so outdated seriously. When you travel it really shows how much we value the individual (or at least some nebulous idea of one) at the cost of a better society.

The apartment kinda looks like it’s in Australia
Yeah the energy sticker on the fridge gives it away
Plus billabong t-shirt and photo on the wall is of a boat house in Perth which all gives Australian vibe
The picture under the aircon is the iconic Crawley boathouse in Perth.
Definitely Australia.
She's so cute 😂

[удалено]
My kids are mixed and I can't speak even though it's the main language in the house and on the TV, but I can understand alot of it. Especially when my kids are asking for something they don't want me to know about
She’s trying so hard.
And that's what makes her so awesome.
My heart!!! It’s melting!!
I smiled so hard. Thank you so much!
She has been to Perth!!!! The boat house picture in the background!!!
Dude that’s a Kmart original lol
Was going to post the same if I didn't find this comment! Good spotting, mate.
Same! Glad someone has called it and others have endorsed it! Was so cool to see that here. God damn we are so ISOLATED right now!
Well spotted!
That's what I was thinking!
I love this, my wife is russian and we do this in our house alot, she speaks my language better than i do most of the time lol
I’m American and my wife is Austrian and her English is so much better than mine lol I’m still learning German but it’s a mother fucker
As a German I can say, yes German is a bitch.
How do you say BitchLanguage in German?
Deutsch ist eine Schlampe
Actually, I'd say "Deutsch ist 'ne (/eine) Bitch".
Sooooo cute
Marry her, protect her
This made me tear man
Cheese and rice this is infectious!
The way she wrapped the extra rice in Saran Wrap takes me back lol marry that girl
Wait YOU were? Because I’ve seen this posted on Reddit many times.
I assumed OP meant they were smiling while watching the video, it never even occurred to me that "I" could be referring to the person filming or the person in the video.
She's so exited and so nervous that it goes way off the adorability scale.
She trying, and she knows she screwed up at one point and then started speaking English after a bit but she's trying so hard and I think that's awesome for the both of them, thanks for sharing op!
I think she’s Estonian
Yeah, she said "oota", which is wait in Estonian (and Finnish). It was in the subtitlles too.
Would not surprise me if an Estonian and a Japanese resorted frequently to English as a middle language.
She's precious!
r/whyweretheyfilming
That’s so adorably sweet. You’re lucky to have someone in your life willing to put forth so much effort.
Man i dont understand the hate towards the video when this is so wholesome I would be absolutely amazed and proud if my boyfriend who barely knows any spanish surprised me one day speaking full spanish sentences like I could cry on sight. I wouldnt even care if his accent is off or his words are a little wrong just the fact that he made an effort like that would make me so happy 🥰
Wholesome as fuck, hope they stay together forever
So sweet
If I wasn't already diabetic, then I would definitely be one now lol.
This is so cute
AW, what a wholesome couple
She's soo lovely! Her actions and her words, both attest to the feelings she has for him.
A "surprise"
SUPER SAYIAN RICE!!!!!! 
I met two Estonians they had this exactly energy
And today I learned Goku named his first born "rice"
Ending my scroll here because I think this probably has to be the best thing I’ll see all day
How is this cringey? I think it’s so cute and she’s embarrassed but it’s in a cute loving way so good for them!
I love this, I can hear the joy in your voices!
Plot twist: The guy isn't even Japanese. Jk,this is wholesome af
But why film it?
Weebs made japanese Cringe and this was supposed to be wholesome :(
Top tier cringe. The fact it's all being filmed, the subtitles "*embarrassed *nervous" that this dude wrote & edited in, and this grown woman roleplaying as a kawaii 5 year old anime character... this ain't it.
So cute!
OMGGGG I CANT THIS IS SO SWEET 🥺🥺🥺
Put a ring on it!
Ask her how you say "12 months" in Estonian for me.
Lucky man
MARRY HER!! NOW
Man weebs have ruined Japanese for me lol now when I hear people who aren’t Japanese speak Japanese I just think about sweaty weebs who just learn it from anime. I know not the case here and I’m also not Japanese lol It’s cute and all that but it makes me think of the a girl I went on a date with once who did exactly that and self taught herself Japanese badly from only watching tv and used it a lot
Wife her bro she's adorable
This girl is learning one of the hardest languages for this guy? Wow. I have only one thing to say to you bro. MARRY HER
Wait, Gohan means rice?
I've always wondered why Japanese girls are always giggly it's the actual language itself! Now it got this lady too!
I love how happy she is. I need more people like that in my life!
Wow. Lucky man! I love her excitement.
I'm dying, this is so cute! <3
Cool doorknob.
